Both the cyclist and the overtaking truck driver look to be at fault. The cyclist should have been further out so the truck could not trap him or possibly not overtaken and the truck driver should have waited for the cyclist to overtake. No real common sense in the clip by either party.
What is even worse none of those involved stopped.

Just watch it on Facebook saw the cyclist overtaking a lorry and he walked away and none of them involved stopped to check.

As a keen cyclist doing ~ 100 miles a week and also a car driver doing around 200 miles a week I try and see things from both perspectives, however, that particular cyclist obviously considers himself as invincible. Irrespective of what the HGV did/didn't do wrong, several tonnes of steel is always going to win against a few grammes of carbon fibre.

It's an ever-present risk for cyclists, and motorcyclists, if they go where no lane exists - vehicle drivers are required to give cyclists a 1.5 m space by moving out into the next lane so logically a cyclist should be in the next lane to overtake rather than trying to get through on the lane line.
